It gets easier kndi. Just stay away from others eating and weekends are a little tough. I think the first 4 days were the hardest but then I had no oroblems

Thank you for the encouragement. I drank my dinner so I think I will play it safe and go to bed with my book. One day down...six more to go.

After 4 days it gets easier and then just stay clear of restaurants' date=' drive thrus, and just people eating. I could have a few sugar free hard candies and that helped me. I had 3 due to it would make you gassy lol[/quote']

Any kind of candy sounds good right now ;)

Try a few sugar free. It helped me over the humps. I think during my 14 day liquid diet I had maybe a total of 10 pieces?

The sugar free butterscotch were wonderful

I got the pre-op diet blues.

I just don't know which Protein flavor to choose.

Everyone around me's eating what they please.

Pizza' date=' fried rice, macaroni and cheese.< /p>

I'm just trying to choke yet another shake down.

Ok look, now they're passing candy around.

I'm about to eat my own shoe.

I totally understand that about the food being everywhere! I don't know if you have kaiser permanente but they have a good chocolate Optifast Meal Replacement shake! If not I like the chocolate muscle milk. I know how you feel about choking 1 more shake down. And I wish I could tell you it gets better right away, I am 5 days post op and the smell of food is killing me! But even if I wanted to I couldn't because my sleeve couldn't tolerate it! Just hang in there I know it's hard but I also know that it will be worth all we are going through! To be skinny & healthy, That will be our prize! And what will those people have that we're passing around all that food, moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips! :) they will be trying yet another diet and failing while you are getting skinnier by the moment! Hang in there ok, we both can get through this! Hope this helped.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
